remember that a scale factor is a number by which all components of an object are multiplied in order to create a proportional enlargement or reduction, in our case, the new dimensions are:

LM = 8 x 0.25 = 2

LN = 8 x 0.25 = 2

MN = 6 x 0.25 = 1.5

If DEF - LMN and the scale factor is 0.25, find the dimensions of LMN?-example-1
